Hi, So, I've checked the videos and there are a few nice tricks up Affinity Photo's sleeve, indeed 🙂 However, sometimes we just want to fix a few things, and the first video demonstrates that some simple tasks require (unnecessarily) convoluted workflow. Cheers, Imre

Excellent, thanks a lot for these, loukash! It was pretty frustrating to realize a 3 minutes task might take much longer because the tool doesn't work as expected. Cheers, Imre

I completely agree, Select All / Delete acting on invisible channels almost melted my brain :-( Dealing with layers/channels are quite counterintuitive at the moment, and the ideas outlined above would greatly improve the workflow. I think a lot of image processing op should be selection and visibility aware. For example, if I'm about to paste a grey scale image when two channels visible, I'd expect to paste the image into both visible channels. Or, pasting an RGB image into a single channel should pop up a dialog asking whether I want to paste a specific channel or lightness (or even more options), etc. Cheers, Imre

Thanks, got it! I wouldn't expect it to find that info there, to be honest... Cheers, Imre

Absolutely! Based on my experience, Info panel display weird and useless information in W and H fields, for example, negative values for width or height. It's more like a mouse cursor tracking panel than real info. I mean, how many times you find useful the angle? Its content should be dynamic and context sensitive to be useful in my opinion, based on the active tool and the scene graph. Here's what I found really frustrating many times: when I'm cropping an image using ratio constraint, I'd love to know the size of the cropped image, but neither Info nor Transform panel gives me any information about the expected size of the image after cropping. The devil is in the details, and the small things can make or break an application, or make frustrated customers, at least. I really like Affinity tools but sometimes they can be very difficult to use or understand some design decisions. Cheers, Imre
